Amen. Philip shouldn't be second best to anybody, and I hate that he's now second best for some teenage girl. It's driving me nuts that they're doing this to him.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've just completely lost interest in him because if he can't even impress a 19 year old . . . I mean, seriously, what a loser. Which I would be okay with in theory if he didn't have such potential with his backstory which apparently we've all been ordered to collectively ignore: no combat injuries, no prior marriage, no losing one child after learning he wasn't her father, no deciding to give up a second child because he wasn't sure he could be a good father (dumb though the ending of that story was). I'm starting to think Blake Berris got lucky getting sacrified at the altar of Melanie--I'd honestly rather Jay was gone than have had to act the crap he's been given the last year, and especially the current ridiculousness.
